[Kevin Praet (Adm)]

Hello Enterprise Analytics Community Members,

I hope all is well! We are one week away from our June (2022) Enterprise Analytics Community Conversation and want to get you excited about the session taking place. On Thursday, June 23rd at 1:00 PM CT, we’ll be joined by @Julie, MABR, CBRM, Senior Manager Inventory Management, Supply Chain and @Jeremiah, Senior Product Manager, Enterprise Analytics, Technology & Innovation Organization at Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) who will be leading a discussion around,“How TVA is Leveraging Supply Chain Data, Advanced Analytics, and Cloud Computing to Create a “Google” to “Amazon” Environment for Supply Chain Inventory.” As this discussion will be interactive, we encourage you to come prepared with questions and your insight.

Learn more about this session and our speakers below!

Session Description:

TVA is leveraging advanced analytics to close the gap between the current $700M+ of inventory and the work management and operational performance of electricity generation assets. A highlight of this process is a new search tool called “MICA” (Materials Intelligent Catalog Assistant) that produces “Google” level search results and an “Amazon” like application for finding inventory and creating work orders. This solution is expected to save TVA millions of dollars. MICA had saved TVA $4.5M already while it was in beta testing.

MICA helps users find inventory and materials they need to better plan projects. MICA’s development is part of TVA’s focus on Intelligent Inventory – a series of efforts to align assets with inventory using Maximo and advanced analytics.

Session attendees will learn ways TVA is applying modern technologies to traditional processes to transform work and asset performance.
